THE DEAR OLD SONGS or HOME.

some simple word my heart has stirred
And thought in fancy strays.
with half heard rhyme and rhythmic chime
To boyhood's happy days.
Like far off bells faint ringing
Ihe memories old are clinging:
now faint, now clear again hear
Ay mother sweetlY singing-singing, sweetly
singing,
The dear old songs Of home.
An! happy boy, with unmixed joy
How sweet the days of old,
When meath our gaze the firelight,s blaze
Shot up its spears of gold
see the kettle swinging
The shadows round it clinging,
TIL once again in sweet refrain
near my mother singing-singing. sweetlv
singing,
The dear old songs of home
No lapse of time can still the chin
or these far hidden bells;
But In my ears, thro' oil these years,
The old time music dwells
And now mid bells clear ringing
With holy thoughts upspringing:
Now faint, now clear again hea
My mother sweetly snging-singing, sweetly
singing,
Tho dear old songs of home.

no other school. Apart from useful informa-
tion upon the countries and the people they
are to evangelize, they are trained in differ
ent kinds of manual labor, such as may be
practiced in the fields to which they will be
sent. The basement of this house is real

PROCTOR KNOTT. ity He soon took
high rank as a working member of the
committees on finance and judiciary, and
early in 1871 blazed upon the country as
great humorist in his brilliant speech
upon Duluth, which he christened the
"zenith city of the unsalted seas"
1t is difficult to give the new generation
OF readers any idea of the wild hilarity
this speech excited in congress, or the
roar of laughter it excited in the country.
The humor was fitted to peculiar state
of affairs, when every ambitious city on
the border was asking land grant or
subsidy, and when the condition passed
away much of the humor became obsolete.
Duluth had just been made famous by
being selected for the eastern terminus of
the Northern Pacific railroad, and was
asking much of congress Mr.. Knott op-
posed the grant in a speech which made
him and the city famous. Duluth grasped
the situation, and made his sarcasm the
basis of q big advertisement. He served
continuously in congress, much Of the
time as chairman of the house judiciary
committee, till 1883, when he was elected
governor of Kentucky by an immense ma
jority. He retired but few weeks ago,
giving place to Gen. S. B. Buckner, elected
last August.
Another important paper was that by
Hon. John Jay Knox on the financial and
banking progress of the year. This gen.
tleman's Federalist ancestry is handsome
ly preserved in his names-John Jay
having been one of the patriarchs of fed
eralism-and his financial opinions are Of
the most pronounced nationalist type.
Born March 10, 1928, at Knoxboro, N. Y,
and graduated from Hamilton college in
1849, he entered at once OH the business of
banking, and acquired such reputation
that soon after the close of the war he was
called by the secretary of the treasury,
Hugh McCulloch, as adviser, and in 1867
was made deputy comptroller of the cur
rency. In 1872 he became comptroller,
and in the offices had nearly eighteen
years continuous service. All the financial
legislation of those years bears the marks
of his genius. He reorganized the busi-

An unsuccessfu1 Operation.

Popular Science News tells of a young
physician just commencing practice who
was called to attend a child who had forced
bean into its ear. Acting upon a brilliant
inspiration, he attempted to remove the for
eign body by Swinging the ear with water.
The bean, absorbing the water, swelled to
double its natural size, and the effect upon
the child may be better imagined than de-
scribed An older physician, called in "con-
sultation," removed the offending vegetable,
with the aid of a hairpin, in a fraction of
minute. The moral to this anecdote may be,
that old methods are sometimes the best.

as means of arresting the growth Of cancer

He urges that the remedy can do no harm,
and that the prima facie evidence is in its
favor. He would restrict the trial to well
marked cases Of scirrhus and insists that
no benefit should be looked for in less than
three months. s

The prevailing style in visiting cards is
marked by the severity of the lettering there
on, plain script being almost the only form
used. Young ladies, in fact all unmarried
women, use cards three and a half inches
long and two inches wide. The size for mar
ried women is larger, measuring four inches
by two and one-half. Men's cards are very
small; three and fourth by one and half
inches long, though slightly larger size may
be used when the length of the name re-
quires it,
On lady's card the address is engraved in
the lower right hand corner, and the recep.
tion day in the lower left hand corner
The title Mr., the first name in full, ard
sometimes tho middle nan1e, always appears
on mems cards.
A nearly square card finds favor with q
few, but is on the whole little used.

Closing the sub-Treasury.

The United States sub treasury makes it q
practice to close on all holidays that are OBJ
served by the banks and clearing house in
New York city. The reason is that while
the banks are closed the treasury can trans
act no business Of moment and might as well
close as keep open. So intimate is the rela-f
tion between it and the banks that when the
latter close for q day the sub-treasury is
forced to observe law that it is not legally
bound by.-C Chicago Times

Treatment of Hang Nai,s-

Hang nails are due to adhesion Of the skin
to the roet of the nail, being in reality loose
pieces Of skin. On the first appearance of
this annoyance, soften the skin In hot water
and push it gently back with piece of ivory,
bone or wood, cutting off all the foreign
pieces. An attempt to shove back this skin
while dry and hard injuries it and is prolific
cause of hang nails.

editor of The Arbeiter Zeitung. When
the verdict was pronounced she fell in
dead faint upon the floor of the court
room and has since lived in quiet, con-
slant misery. Her oldest child, Ida, is
nearly 4; Rudolph, named for her fugi-
tive brother, is Q. Both are very attractive
and spend o great deal of time in the
county jail, where their father is confined
and where they are great fayorites. Mrs.
Schwab is almost as quiet and reserved as
Mrs Fischer, but says that as far as she
understands she is q socialist, though not
an anarchist.
Mrs. Fielden, wife of the only English
man among the anarchists, Is thor
oughly practical and conservative Briton,
with a clear blue eye, pleasant face and
shy manner. She is opposed to all reyo-
lutionary schemes and knows nothing
whatever about anarchism. Her hus-
band, too, seemed to be equally conserva-
tive till he fell into the society Of anarch-
lists at Chicago. He had been Wesleyan
Methodist local preacher in England, and
was always o hard working, temperate
and domestic man. OF their two children,
Alice is 5 and Samuel year old--both
bright, clear skinned. and good average
children. There is some hope of Fielden's
sentence being commuted. OF the re-
naming prisoners, Lingg is unmarried
and Spies only married by proxy, while
the family of Engel is grown. The
youngest, however, is an unmarried lady,
and visits him occasionally.

Good Manners.

Good manners go far toward supplying the
want of good looks. They constitute the Sc

physical attractions. 1t may be added that
the manner of others toward us is usually the
reflex of our manner toward them.

In persistent hemorrhage from the nose,

firmly grasping the nose with the finger and
thumb, SO as completely to prevent the air
from passing through the cavity in the
act of breathing, This simple means, if per-
sistently tried, win, in many cases, arrest the
bleeding. The hemorrhage persists because
the clot which forms at the rupture in the
blood vessel is displaced by the air being
drawn forcibly through the cavity in the at.
